Rods, Reels, and Tactics

We're not just about dropping lines and hoping for the best. Our captains have years of experience and know every trick in the book to maximize your chances of a great catch.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"We had Jeremy and his wife this day. Ooooohh did we have a blast!!! The weather wasn't the best, 2.5 to 5' swells, windy, and some rain here and there.....but, that didn't mean we didn't catch any fish!!! Jeremy put us right on them!!!!! My family will remember this forever! The girls said they loved riding up front on the bean bags with the waves. The boys loved catching fish they have never caught before. Myself and Heidi got aome great pictures of us laughing in the rain on the boat ride back!!! We seriously had a great day!!!! We look forward to coming back and hopefully for a longer trip. 5 out of 5!!!!" - Duane

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish are one of our most popular targets, and for good reason. These copper-colored beauties put up a fight that'll have your arms burning and a grin plastered on your face. They love to hang around structures near the shore, and when they're on the feed, it's non-stop action. Fall is prime time for big bull reds, but we catch them year-round. The best part? They're delicious if you decide to keep your catch.

Bluefin Tuna - now that's the trophy everyone dreams about. These giants of the deep are the heavyweight champions of the Gulf. We typically target them in the cooler months, from late fall through early spring. Landing a bluefin is no joke; it can take hours of battling, but the rush when you finally see that massive silver side flash next to the boat is unbeatable. Just remember, there are strict regulations on bluefin, so most of the time it's catch and release - but the photos and bragging rights are yours to keep.

Southern Flounder might not look like much, but don't let their flat appearance fool you. These ambush predators are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. We usually target them in the fall as they move towards the Gulf to spawn. The technique for catching flounder is unique - it's all about slow and steady retrieves, feeling for that distinctive 'thump' when they grab the bait. And if you're lucky enough to land a big one, you're in for some of the best-tasting fish in the sea.
